Praise God for a good Christmas service with the church on the 26th of December. Eight people had memorized one or more of the chapters we had selected to memorize together for Christmas. They recited them together including V., the blind man, who had learned from the recording another member made for him. Both shut-ins memorized also but did not make it to the service. It was fun together fixing the rice, fried noodles, chicken, beef, fruit and sugared peanuts for the fellowship meal.
Please pray for the children who are coming to children's church now. There were 25 last week. Many of them play in our front yard each day.
Praise God that K. now has a job. He opened a telephone shop. Please pray that he will faithfully come to church.
Praise the Lord for a great time together with Cherith, Jonathan, Adrianna, Caleb, and Josiah. It was great to see how God is blessing their family. God provided a car for us to use for part of the time they were here and we used tuk-tuks part of the time. The kids were excited to ride on Grandpa's motorcycle. On the 19th Jonathan preached for the main service and Cherith had a special Christmas SS lesson for the ladies. Cherith went on visitation with me too. It was an encouragement to us and to the Cambodian believers to have them visit us here in Cambodia.They have arrived safely back in Reims, France now. God gave us an eventful trip returning to Koh Kong as the bus broke down twice and then was towed through the mountains into town. Thank you for praying for us.

This is a wonderful idea and will help us know better how to pray. We came to Egypt Dec. 8 and will return Jan. 8. It has been wonderful to spend this time with Faith and Michelle and family and to see their work here. We are memorizing Ephesians and it is such a blessing to us (and a challenge too - at 88 my rememberer gives me trouble).
